Big Business
Here in West Virginia, when we say BIG business we’re not just talking about the bottom line or influence on governments!

Carrie Furnace. It’s a blast.

Carrie Furnace
Once the mightiest machine on earth, this is about all that is left of Carnegie Steel’s Homestead Works. This mammoth steel making and processing plant covered hundreds of acres on both sides of the Monongahela River just upstream from Pittsburgh. All that remains now is a pair of blast furnaces and their supporting structures. This image does not show a blast furnace but does show some of the necessary support structures.
The following panorama from the Library of Congress taken in 1912 will give you some sense of the scope of the Homestead Works. The group of blast furnaces known as Carrie Furnace are just barely visible across the river on the far right in the gap in the smoke stacks.
Hmmmm… Lenses
All exposures were from a tripod that did not move between shots – I just changed lenses. Processing was identical for the 45 and 50. Sharpening was only in Lr, was identical for all four, and was minimal in application (25 r0.7). I applied a small amount of clarity to each. The last two images had contrast boosted a little. Keep an eye on the sycamore and small group of cedars in the center.
